What People
Are Saying!
"There are many circumstances that bring new people into our
lives, and I will say with certainty that the new folks from Away Home and
Pet Care are my new friends for life. You are wonderful people with good
values and have this amazing warmth toward animals and humans. Thank you
for your time and all the special extras you performed for us while we
were away. The plants looked great and the Juncos were still here thanks
to your efforts." Lynn D. - Irmo SC
"This was my first time using your service and was
very pleased. My dog was very happy, I actually think she got more
attention with us gone than when we are home. In fact, I wonder if Buddie
wanted us to even come home. While we were on vacation, I felt very at
ease with Buddie and the house. Could not have asked for better service.
Thank you." Susan - Columbia
SC
"I can't tell you how
much we appreciate all you've done for our cats and for us. You've made it
easier to relax and just enjoy our trip - so much that we want to take
another trip around New Year's! Things were GREAT when we got home. The
kids were glad to see us, but they weren't stressed out. I don't know how
you did it, but you appear to be the only person who can care for Peakie
Pie while we're gone without her getting freaked out! The only issue is
that they're annoyed with us for not being as good at being Moms as you
are at being their temporary guardian! You were extraordinary!! "
I.C. - Columbia SC
"My husband and I recently moved from
Atlanta where we used a pet sitter before. However the
professionalism of Robert and his staff is something I have never seen
before in a pet sitting business. This gave us real comfort when deciding
to use their services. We were comfortable from day one and will continue
to patronize this business." Carolyn P. - Chapin
SC
"Robert, thank you very much for taking
care of our 5 'children' while were were in California. The daily text
message and emails were such a comfort. I never once had to worry about
our pets or the house. Thank you so much! We'll be booking again!"
Kathy J. - Irmo SC
"We used another pet sitter
and decided to switch because of all the amenities you offer for our pets
and our home. We know that no matter the problem, your company can help
us. How convenient!" Josh K. - Lexington
SC
"You provide the peace of mind that so many may
never know if they do not use your service. The daily messaging is so
reassuring especially when a small critter is nearing her departure in
life. To look at her, you would never know she was [so old]. Rick took
such good care of her and her eyes were shining bright when I peeked in
her cage. You guys are the best and you are doing a service that speaks
excellence in every way. Thank you for your love and care of our treasures
on earth." L.D. - Columbia
"Thank you very much for taking care of my 16 year
old Charlie. As you know, Charlie has a host of medical problems and I
felt very comfortable leaving him in your care. I was a little nervous at
first, but as I started getting the text messages every day indicating
what meds were given and at what time, I began to feel at ease. By the end
of the trip, I was completely confident that Charlie was in good hands.
The fact that you are certified for pet first-aid was a real plus. I will
recommend you to all my friends. I'm going out of town again for 2 weeks
in September and will definitly be calling you to care for Charlie
again." Sarah P.
- Irmo SC
"When Sasha had surgery we contacted Away Home
& Pet Care to watch over her while we were at work. We didn't feel
comfortable leaving Sasha at home alone and we didn't want to ask our
parents to do it either. Thank goodness for Away Home & Pet Care!
Sasha seemed totally at ease with Rick and we knew she was in good
hands." Buck and Linda S. - Columbia
SC
"I can't believe a service like this exists! Now
we can go out of town, even on short notice, and not have to even think
about who's going to take care of our pets. Thank you!".
Paul B. - Gaston SC
"Robert, thank you
for caring for our 4 dogs, 3 cats, 1 snake, 2 lizards and our fish while
we were on vacation. Your service is an incredible value and sure
beats the heck out of putting our animals in a kennel! We'll be calling
you again." Jeri W. - Lexington
SC
"I truly cannot think of any way to improve. I was
so pleased and surprised by the good service, as were my neighbors, who
spoke very highly of you!" Customer Satisfaction
Survey
"I had total peace of mind and appreciated
the daily contact with text messages.........I've never left home and not
worried about the house until using this service. We will never board the
dogs again. The cats were all happy..........we usually have one or two
that are so mad at us for leaving and all the animals were just as happy
and content when we got home that it was like we never left. Thank-you so
much." Customer Satisfaction Survey

have no idea how I could have managed without you. What a great
service!" Janet L. - Columbia SC
"I
only have one complaint! Elizabeth put me to shame. My plants never looked
so good!" Julie - West Columbia

home. I might have to stop using you - I think they're getting
spoiled!" Gretchen W. - Cayce

service. We have worred about our pets for years! Now - NO WORRIES!"

you when we go out of town next time!" J.H. - West Columbia

"I'm still soaking up the thought of finally
finding a dependable and trustworthy pet sitter! I am happy that you
provide the services that you do. It mades me feel much
better...especially when I don't know too many people in this town."
A.S. - Columbia SC
"Your professionalism
is unparallelled. You were so organized when you came to our home and took
meticulous notes concerning our instructions. This made us feel completely
at ease when we left Carlie with you. My hats off to you and your
team!" Stacey J. - Chapin SC
"I
feel very comfortable leaving Boston with Rick while I am at work. Boston
almost seems to have more energy when I get home, but I think it is his
excitement from having a great day. He is no longer sad and bored because
he is alone all day. It is such a relief to not worry about him when I am
gone 10+ hours a day. Thank you so much for this great service. I have
recommended you to everyone that I know." A.R. - Columbia
